The Psalms of David ‎#P97a

P97a. He reigns, the Lord, the Saviour reigns

1 He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns;
Praise him in evangelic Strains:
Let the whole Earth in Songs rejoice,
And distant Islands join their Voice.

2 Deep are his Counsels and unknown;
But Grace and Truth support his Throne;
Though gloomy Clouds his Ways surround,
Justice is their eternal Ground.

3 In Robes of Judgment, lo, he comes,
Shakes the wide Earth, and cleaves the Tombs;
Before him burns devouring Fire,
The Mountains melt, the seas retire.

4 His Enemies, with sore Dismay,
Fly from the Sight, and shun the Day;
Then lift your Heads, ye Saints, on high,
And sing, for your Redemption's nigh.
